Fabián Gutiérrez was close to the Kirchner marriage for more than fifteen years. He learned in detail many of the movements of the former presidential family, and was surprised when he asked to be a defendant collaborator in the cause investigating the illegal fundraising system that former officials of the then Federal Planning Ministry charged to state contractor companies. He spoke of bags that traveled to El Calafate , of "spaces intended to store bags that were inaccessible to all and only Néstor Kirchner entered."

Gutiérrez can be defined as a man of extreme confidence of the Kirchners. He participated in meetings, trips, roasts and political situations that surrounded the former presidents. In May 2003, he arrived at the Casa Rosada from Santa Cruz and was on December 9, 2015 in the last official act led by Cristina Kirchner as President of the Nation. He had left his position as private secretary in 2010, but did not cut the relationship with the former presidential family.

In October 2018, in the Courts of Comodoro Py he became, to the surprise of many, an accused collaborator. Among his sayings, the ratification of bag trafficking to Santa Cruz stood out . The version was not surprising. Former Tango 01 pilot Sergio Velázquez told the judge that bags were transferred in the presidential fleet, but he did not give details on their content.

Gutiérrez spared no words to describe what "working from sunrise to sunset" was like for Cristina Kirchner: her former private secretary stated that "none of the secretaries" wanted to work with her. She spoke of "spaces in the house of Río Gallegos and El Calafate to store bags", although she did not specify their content. She said that at the moment when the mysterious packages reached these homes, Néstor Kirchner made them withdraw "and then we could enter" again, with no bags in sight. He spoke of "De Vido's hatred of Cristina" and of purchases for between $ 4,000 and $ 6,000 on the former President's official trips. All data from Gutiérrez's statement before the Justice for the cause of the notebooks.

Gutiérrez's course

The secretary said that his first steps near the Kirchners were in the government of Santa Cruz. Then he worked in the Ministry of Social Development led by Alicia Kirchner, then he went to the Ministry of Labor "working as an inspector, Later in the provincial Social Work, Later in the General Secretariat in the Protocol area, in other state departments." Gutiérrez passed through the three governorates of Néstor Kirchner in the province, and when the 2003 campaign arrived, "I went to work at Casa de Santa Cruz with Valerio Martínez, Daniel Muñoz and Miriam Quiroga," he said in his confession as "repentant."

After Néstor Kirchner arrived at the Casa Rosada, “I went on to serve as Deputy Secretary to the President. After a week of the presidential inauguration, Kirchner quotes me in his office and tells me that my specific task would be to accompany the First Lady and National Senator Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, at all times, "said Gutiérrez and added:" I did not receive That task was very pleasant: given her strong character, no one wanted to work with her ”.

In that section of the investigation, the former presidential collaborator -who stayed with the Kirchner couple for more than a decade- said: "Among the secretaries we nicknamed her" the crazy "," the mare "and another term that I don't want to mention for reasons of gender ”.

Then he referred to the former President, “ Néstor was more human , he was different, sometimes Néstor jokingly hit but made him bleed. I remember a time when I jokingly hit Néstor with the phone on the head and he immediately hit me back. ”

When describing what his relationship with the Kirchners was like, the former secretary said “in my opinion it was love and hate . He called Nestor 'the transit' because it was what they nicknamed him in the South. My task with Cristina was to accompany her everywhere, from sunrise to sunset, because I was alone with her, I had only one franc a month. ”

Cristina Kirchner's expenses

Gutiérrez said that one of the obligations he had was “to accompany the First Lady on official trips with the president, or sometimes alone. On those occasions he accompanied her, for example, when she went shopping. She would choose what she wanted to buy and then I would go with the money and withdraw it. The amounts he used to spend were around $ 4,000 to $ 6,000 in total per trip. ”

Why did you resign your position as secretary? Because after a trip to Jerusalem “we had a strong argument because at the hotel I had gone to the bathroom and she requested me, so she reproached me for that situation and we argued. On my return I submitted the resignation. "

The former private secretary said that he felt "exhausted" since he was "the only person who was with her all day, from the time he got up until he went to bed, and I was without frank and without rest for four months. I went to work at 7 and ended my day when she went to bed. "

"When Daniel Muñoz appeared, they made us all retire for an hour or so. The same thing happened in the house in Río Gallegos, where there was a sector next to the gym with the same characteristics reported in the house in El Calafate," he said.

"Reserved spaces"

Gutiérrez also referred to trips on Tango 01 to Santa Cruz. "With regard to Cristina and Néstor Kirchner's trips to the South on the weekends, I also accompanied them. It was common for Sanfelice, Rudy Ulloa, Carlos Sancho, Zannini, to travel with us, indistinctly and some more that I do not remember and that was also from the south".

There he told how Daniel Muñoz was guarding the luggage. "Most of the trips carried suitcases with padlocks , he was the only one who touched them and was located with them in the back, passing the presidential area, between the room that journalists used to use and the kitchen. He did it in a reserved way "

Referring to the suitcases, Gutiérrez added, "I did not see the content, but it was discussed and I also thought that they contained money."

Regarding the logistics of the luggage, the former secretary and a new repentant said that what belonged to the former presidents was traveling "in the hold of the plane." "I remember that on those trips we arrived at the residence in El Calafate, and when Muñoz Néstor Kirchner arrived, he made us withdraw. In that house I did not see vaults but there was a place down the stairs where there was a closed white plate door, where we said with the secretaries that "there was the whole story" , in relation to the place where the mentioned packages could be kept ".

According to Gutiérrez, only Néstor Kirchner had access to that space. The former secretary continues: "Muñoz appeared, and when he appeared they made us all retire for an hour or so. The same thing happened in the house in Río Gallegos, where there was a sector next to the gymnasium with the same characteristics as that reported in El Calafate "

The story continued: “We all thought that the aforementioned packages were also stored in that place. During the time they made us withdraw from the Río Gallegos residence, we took the opportunity to visit our families. From 2003 to 2005 this was in Río Gallegos, and at least between 2008 and 2010 -in the period that I was- it was in El Calafate ".

The death of Nestor

Nestor Kirchner's death was a break in many things. The former secretary said that when Cristina Kirchner takes over as president, "Néstor Kirchner did his activities in the Quinta de Olivos. When Néstor dies, the characters change, since Muñoz retires and the usual secretaries disappear. The new environment of the President was substantially the group from La Cámpora, Máximo Kirchner with the Cuervo Larroque, Cabandié, Wado de Pedro among others from the group ”.

Gutiérrez paused before concluding his investigation before Judge Claudio Bonadio and Prosecutor Carlos Stornelli, and said: "I want to add that De Vido hated Cristina because on one occasion Néstor Kirchner wanted him to apply for Governor of Santa Cruz and she lowered him in favor of Sergio Acevedo ”.

The former secretary made a reference to José López, who had linked him to the delivery of the bags with 9 million dollars that the former secretary of Public Works sought to hide in the Convent of General Rodríguez on June 14, 2016. “It is absolutely false, as well as the meeting at the NH hotel, being that even at that time I had been out of the City of Buenos Aires more than ten days ago ”.
